Instead of getting a
cup of coffee why not replace it with Lemon water. I have read in many health
books that lemon water at the start of the day has many benefits for overall
body.
Lemons are packed with nutrients, including vitamin C,
B-complex vitamins, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and fiber.
Drink it first thing in the morning, and wait 15 to 30
minutes to have breakfast. This will help you fully receive the benefits of
lemon water, which are listed below.
Boost our Immune System:
Lemons are high in Vitamin C and potassium. Potassium
stimulates brain and nerve function and helps control blood pressure. The level
of vitamin C in your system is one of the first things to plunge when you’re
stressed, which is why experts recommended popping extra vitamin C during
especially stressful days. Ascorbic acid found in lemons demonstrates
anti-inflammatory effects, and is used as complementary support for asthma and
other respiratory symptoms plus it enhances iron absorption in the body which plays
an important role in immune function. Lemons also contain saponins, which show
antimicrobial properties that may help keep cold and flu at bay. Lemons also
reduce the amount of phlegm produced by the body.
Aids Digestion:
Lemon juice not only encourages healthy digestion by
loosening toxins in your digestive tract, it helps to relieve symptoms of
indigestion such as heartburn, burping, and bloating. Lemons are also high in
minerals and vitamins and help loosen toxins, in the digestive tract.
Clear Skin:
The antioxidants in lemon juice help to not only decrease
blemishes, but wrinkles too! It can also be applied to scars and age spots to
reduce their appearance, and because it’s detoxifying your blood, it will
maintain your skin’s radiance. Vitamin C is vital for healthy glowing skin
while its alkaline nature kills some types of bacteria known to cause acne. Since
lemon water purges toxins from your blood, it would also be helping to keep
your skin clear of blemishes from the inside out. The vitamin C contained in
the lemon rejuvenates the skin from within your body.
Promotes Healing:
Ascorbic acid (vitamin C), found in abundance in lemons,
promotes wound healing, and is an essential nutrient in the maintenance of
healthy bones, connective tissue, and cartilage. Vitamin C also displays
anti-inflammatory properties. Combined, vitamin C is an essential nutrient in
the maintenance of good health and recovery from stress and injury.
Freshens Breath:
It also helps relieve toothaches and gingivitis. Because the
citric acid can erode tooth enamel, either hold off on brushing your teeth
after drinking lemon water or brush your teeth before drinking it. Be aware
that citric acid can erode tooth enamel, so you should be mindful of this. No
not brush your teeth just after drinking your lemon water. It is best to brush
your teeth first, then drink your lemon water, or wait a significant amount of
time after to brush your teeth.
Adopting just this one practice of drinking a cup of water
with lemon in the morning for a month can radically alter your experience of
the day. Don't be surprised if you begin to view mornings in a new light.
